[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My college age daughter (I assume) would have no clue what the proper placement of cutlery is on a table. My kids grew up doing sports after school and we didn't do a lot of eating at the dinner table. I think my college daughter is a lovely human and parented well. Her ability to properly place cutlery has zero to do with manners.

If these Relatives don't know you extremely well, loading and unloading dishes would be awkward. I would have no clue how someone else liked their dishes loaded nor where to put them away. I think if I tried to help someone else clean their kitchen I would stand there awkwardly not knowing what to do.

What I can tell you is that your disdain of your relatives and your personal opinion of their upbringing is surely not lost on them. I'm sure when they run to their phones they are probly texting "get me the heck out of here". I know I would be.

How did your daughter eat her meals?  Standing up?  Did she never eat a weekend or holiday meal at a proper
Table?  I agree with you that table setting is quite a small pet of being a well mannered human being but if you somehow ate proper meals so rarely that your daughter can't tell you what a table
Setting looks like, that seems like you failed her on this level. I mean even restaurants have these expectations. Your daughter will have to eat in one someday, and she will hopefully be a house guest as well.[/quote]

Small part, not small pet.  Sorry.[/quote]
